lousy cheap metal and poor wheel arch line design.

Good job that the plastic does not rust ;)

So the door handles on the new E will be ok at least ;)

Yes :D:D before and just after the war, the handles were made of monkey metal, and scrap alloy product. The molecules were always on the move, and this pushed the chrome plating off, and they could not be re plated so a huge advance in car technology

The Nissan X Trail has plastic front wings too, mine still looked liked new after 5 years use. I could not see any downside to them.
